Balboa Cafe is known as the the place to hookup with MILFs and Cougars. It's one of the major destinations in the Blue Triangle nightlife spot of the Marina. I feel short there because the average guy is 6'5" and the women are about 5'10". Most of the people are blonde and seem to be So Cal or Marin...

The more things change the more they stay the same. In this case, that's good. The classic American menu is still tasteful and tasty. With its hub corner location in the "Triangle," picture windows filling the long walls, and cool crowd of tourists and locals, this place has timeless lively vibe.

The mob of drunken fratboys pour into the intersection at 2 am. Josh, egged on by his equally inebriated brothers, vomits onto a passing car's windshield. They cheer wildly, chant his name, Josh, Josh, Josh! Another legendary night to add to others dimly remembered.
